Native Instruments Una Corda Contemporary Piano Software Instrument Reviews

David Klavins’s Una Corda upright piano offers an ultra-contemporary, one-of-a-kind sound. And now, thanks to Native Instruments Una Corda, you can deploy that sound in your own projects. The secret to the original’s unique sonic characteristics is its one-string-per-key design, which yields a myriad of sounds, from soft and resonant to percussive and textural. NI’s virtual instrument was meticulously sampled to deliver everything from up-close realism to resonant overtones. Benefit from three separate sound banks: a pure version with near-infinite resonance, a felt version with a gentle tone and subdued attack, and a cotton version with a percussive attack and busy overtones. You also get unique noise and sound design elements for generating otherworldly sonic textures and an assortment of built-in effects. At Sweetwater, we’ve found Una Corda to be a great way to introduce fresh elements into our electronic, pop, and jazz productions. What will you use it for?
